What a wonderful campsite. Very clean and well maintained. There aren't many transient sites, mostly seasonal, but the seasonals are in a section by themselves, with a carded gate entry. All of us transients are together, which is great because you don't have to deal with all of the sheds, decks and fences the seasonals put up.

The staff was accommodating and friendly, especially when we wanted to stay a few hours longer to go to Long Beach Island. It's a short trip to LBI. The site is large with brush in the back. Only 30 amp, and we blew a circuit with our 2 air conditioners. First time this happened at any campground, but the staff came right out and reset the circuit breaker.

You have to back into the dump station, but they have a pump out person that comes around every day. Swimming pool and putt putt. The putt putt needs some work, but it was fine for us to play and spend some time. Will defintely go back! - Kevie

Checked into a premium site. I had no cable TV Friday night. Saturday went to office and was told I needed a cable box. That didn't work either. Water leaked and had to get an extra washer to fit in adaptor. Also on Friday requested to be first pumped out on Sunday, since there is no sewer or dump station. Sunday I was hooked up and ready to go. Had to go find lady to pump me out and she said was never told of my request (which I had double checked Saturday night ). Also went in pool area. Saw hot tub / whirlpool in pics. Was really looking forward to this after 8 hour trip, only to be told by pool attendant he cannot turn on the jets. He isn't allowed. Nice place, but very disappointing. And definitely NOT worth the $$$. - joanner

This park is undergoing long needed renovations under new ownership and the effort is paying off. My score is an "8" but I would not be surprised if it is a "9" soon. The buildings are looking good as are the pool and play areas. Gravel sites share utility pedestal area so campers are close on the "business" side while the living side is large with fire pit, charcoal grill and a picnic table. My site was pretty level but did require use of my Anderson leveler. WiFi and the Honey Truck are included. There are no sewer hook-ups. The seasonal area is separate and most sites show signs of long-time residence. We don't live far away so this may well be a twice a year pre and post busy season trip for us. Staff was excellent and very friendly. - Bandguy

The woman on duty said "cash only" for our 3 night stay, which surprised me. But we ponied up the cash. Finding this place is something of a challenge since it's partially down a dirt road and no signs to lead you to it. Our site was near the regulars because we wanted a SW exposure for our satellite antenna, so we were spared the overnight area, but trees still blocked us, so no TV. Also the sites are very close together and the trailers there look as if they haven't moved in years. Site was level but very sandy and without a rug we were dragging it through the trailer. Bathrooms were clean but rustic. The bottom of the doors on the lady's room stalls were very high and consequently not very private. Showers very well used but clean. - Wendywoods

One of our favorite campgrounds. Approximate 12 miles from Long Beach Island. Nice, friendly, quiet campground (with no scheduled activities). It is located in the Pine Barrens. WARNING: The entrance road is very rough. - artspe

Our full-service site was sand and heavily wooded. This is a huge campground that seems to have a lot of seasonal campers. We were there a few days before they closed for the winter, so a lot of the amenities were closed down. The staff were friendly and helpful. - ShoreXplorers

Stayed for a weekend during off season as it was close to home and not full. Would not call it a "resort" type campground, as wife and I both said "rustic" in a good way as it reminded us of campgrounds growing up as kids. Owners and staff were friendly and helpful and helped get our cable working on a very rainy Sat. Sites seem about 50/50 seasonal/transient and are sand but have lots of privacy and space between the sites. The full hookups are on a loop at the back of the campground. We had no problem with our 38' MH getting in our site but others can be tight for that size rig. Main roads are asphalt gravel, others are sand. Walking our dogs around the campground the seasonal people there were all friendly and the bathrooms though didn't use them were clean. We will return - njdirt

This was our second time camping here and it was just as good as the first time. Site was level from side to side; a little downhill slope, but no problem fore and aft. Quiet time was enforced. - GlennNJ

Ok, so I heard some good things about this place but unfortunately we had a bad experience our first time here. First we pull to office to check in, it was hot day and they tell us the pool was closed for maintenance. Not even a courtesy call otherwise we would of cancelled. Our kids were disappointed upon hearing this news. Get to our pull thru site. Good thing it was after Labor Day and crowds were gone as sites are on top of each other and offer no privacy. The worst part was morning after when I decided to go take shower at 7am in restroom only to find a used condom and lube! Disgusted, but I get it people get frisky, my complaint is 8am, 9am, 10am....11am staff finally came to clean restroom which was totally unacceptable. We approach the staff who apologize but do not even offer any refund or discount. Half the campground appears to have full time residents living in trailers year round.

On a good note, the campground is close to LBI, which is only reason we may just stay here again. - Jerseyboy

We have camped here several times, getting a little pricey and starting to require longer stays. Very well maintained grounds and amenities. Coming into the season of heavy bugs in this part of NJ. - Bighorn3685

Celebrated Memorial Day Weekend at Sea Pirate with a group of other friends. Campground was very clean, the maintenance staff were noticeably always on patrol for litter and removal of trash. Store was large, and had a variety of items, didn't have a large selection of shirts especially larger sizes (never understood this since it is free advertising for their campgrounds). The grill/ice cream parlor was very pricey, and the young staff members were easily overwhelmed and could learn some customer service tips! The 500 section seemed to be the nicest part of the campground. The pool was very crowded, with many people holding seats with towels. Dog park was very nice, and they even provided toys for the dogs. - SJEAGLES609

We would give this campground a 10 except for the tiny site. Because the sites are so close, your neighbor's sewer is right by your picnic table. Thank goodness we have no slide outs! Otherwise this is one of the best pools we have been at, two great playgrounds, friendly and helpful staff and so close to a lot of things! Super Walmart is only a mile and a half south on Route 9. Another shopping plaza with Shoprite is a little past that. This is important to us. But getting back to the campground-- the big, exotic birds out in cages on the weekends are so cool. The camp store is really nice, as is the cafe where you can get pizza and ice cream etc. The "game room" is lacking-- just a pool table and maybe an arcade game. BUT there are couches and board games available for rainy days when being in your camper with the kids might get cramped. And I thought their laundry room was the nicest I've ever been to. I enjoyed the seating area outside. A bonus-- they provide bags for and pick up your garbage and recyclables! We WILL come back here for sure - Camping Diva524

Nice park. Stayed for 10 days for family wedding. Crowded during 4th of July week. Front section mostly rv travelers, while back area has some seasonal and lots of tent sites. Great pool with two water slides that my grandkids loved. Personally met the owner and he seemed passionate about having a nice park and especially involved with kids and kids activities. He keeps 5 or 6 large birds (parrots?) onsite and kids loved them Not cheap ( no place at shore is during summer) but would stay here again. - MrMichael

Seems like a tale of two parks. The front area is where they put short term campers and is open and grassy, sparsely shaded and closely spaced between sites. The back area is nicely wooded and seems where they put the long term/permanent users. Good gravel roads but most pads were sand and grass. Sewer and utilities (30/50 amp) worked well and good water. Nice shower/restroom and laundry facilities. Cable has many channels available but you must use a cable box the park provides with a $50 refundable deposit. Saw some batwings up but the manager told me they don't get much. Wifi - don't bother. You pay extra and I paid 1 day for service that seldom worked. The park is very quiet and the owners very friendly and had suggestions for things to see. There are two pools (closed when we were there), playgrounds and game rooms for kids. We stayed for 4 days and took day trips to see the Statue of Liberty, Philadelphia and Long Beach island. There is a Walmart about 1.5 miles to the South. All in all a very nice place I just wish WiFi worked better. - utchaps

Just off of Garden State Parkway. Dirt road access - caution - branches overhang on the right side a bit much. Scraped up my RV. Sites are easy to maneuver and sandy. Some blackwater tanks maybe a little uphill from your rig. Good distance between campers. RV sites are pull through, so exiting maybe a little tight due to sheds by permanent guests. Ample shade and they pick up your garbage daily. Would stay again. - dway66

This park is obviously aimed at family campers and has several kid oriented activities each day. The night we were here they had a "corn roast" and live entertainment in the pavilion. It is located in a sandy area and the roads are mostly just packed sand/dirt. Rain that night created some muddy walking, but with a sand base, quickly dried up. Felt more like a summer camp than an RV park, but good times for guests of all ages. - Dunwoodyradio

As others have said, the roads in are narrow and dusty, but it's New Jersey pine barrens, so no way to avoid. We were in a W/E site and the rate is a little high, but we were very close to our destination, so reasonable. We stayed for the long Labor Day weekend, and there were lots of activities all weekend long, however we did not participate due to other plans. The staff were very friendly, check in was quick. There are a lot of seasonal sites, but our loop was mostly transients, however all neighbors were friendly. A bonus is the dog park for those with canine companions.
We had great stay, and will definitely stay again. - htowners

Bass River State Forest, Tuckerton, NJ May 6, 2015 $25 plus a $5 transaction fee for being a walk in (required by Reserve America), 186 sites

This was our first time camping in a New Jersey State Forest and we really enjoyed camping here. The woman at the check in office was very nice and informative letting us drive around the two loops to pick out our site. There are two loops in this campground North and South with a beach, picnic area between them. We chose the South Loop because the lake trail was within walking distance and we could sit on the benches and enjoy the view and wildlife. There are no hookups here but there are bathhouses and water within the loops. There is a dump station and pets are allowed only in certain sites. This campground was developed by the CCC who built the roads, trails, bridle paths, ponds, towers, nature observatory, shelters, picnic areas, cabins and a 67 acre Lake Absegami. The State Forest encompasses more than 27,000 acres in the Pine Barrens. The Batona Trail a walking trail for over 50 miles goes this Forest. It is also part of the Pinelands Natural Reserve. The bathrooms are older but they do have showers. We would return here if near the area again but it was so peaceful because during the week at this time of year there were only about five sites taken. Weekends they are very busy Memorial Day through Labor Day. Enjoyable stay! - gsnakehill

I didn't have a high expectation but I was delighted to find a clean, efficient modern office with friendly staff. We camped in a perfectly level site pretty much by ourselves. Just us and the Whippoorwills. We camped in a spot near a water receptacle and I didn't have to worry about going anywhere to fill up. I was there for the Bassman Triathlon and checked out well beyond check out time with no hassle from the staff. I changed the listing above to reflect "big rig friendly". We are not a big rig but there were quite a few there. The roads, and sites were plenty big enough to accommodate the largest 5th wheel or motor home. - Mr October

This is a nice state forest campground in the Jersey woods. Quiet and well maintained. No hookups, but a dump station and potable water are available. Even though I only gave it a seven, that number is quite good for any park in NJ ( although if you were to read some of my earlier reviews, I was overly generous to some other NJ campgrounds). After spending way too much time in NJ commercial campgrounds, I would have to say that the state parks are the way to go and this one is pretty good. - monkeypants

Timberline Lake was delightful, and the people couldn't have been more friendly. We stayed pre-season, but it looks like they have lots of activities planned for the summer. The only downside is that the overwhelming majority of the campground is seasonal campers with permanent setups. On the other hand, the short-term sites are right on the water and beautiful. - DunellenGuy

This is a large park in need of a serious upgrade; old, shabby and mostly cramped sites. Broken tree limbs and old leaves, brown looking brush scattered throughout. Lots of seasonal people with accumulations of every single thing they ever bought to decorate their site for the last 10 years. Mind-boggling!! They have a pool, attractive and pretty nice but too small for the amount of campers there. There is a lake for guests with a small sandy beach area on it. However the color of the lake was a weird dark inky color. I did not swim in it. We were told that what is now a lake was once filled with cranberry bogs. Maybe that is why I was not moved to swim in it! We used it as a home base for 4 days to see the area and did not spend much time in the park, so that was OK. The employees in the office i must say were very nice. Would I return...No! - Roseann Pummill

My wife & sister camped for the week end. The site was a pull through although it was easier to back out the way we came in to leave. This campground is 90% seasonal and as with others like this one the quiet times are a joke, both evening and moring. Fri night they quieted down because it started to rain at 2am! Next mornings the noise started an hour before the time posted. The other negative was when dumping my tanks when getting ready to leave the sewer was full and back up! Argh - GlennNJ

My Parents stayed there years ago and when I got my TT I had to come back. It's a great place and will come back again. One of the owners was great; we came up to the store on Saturday and ended up getting what we needed and then just sitting with her talking for over an hour. The pool wasn't open yet but everything else was. They have their own power boat dock or just bring your kayaks. The lake is about a mile long. We went on a small hike that could have gone for miles. I would say it's a mix of seasonal or full timers but even they were great. We hung out with some of them. We stayed in spot 60 and I didn't even have to level it; when I stopped it was perfect.

Boating, Jet Skiing, Kayaking, or Hiking. Or just hanging out by the Fire Ring. It's the perfect Camp Site for a weekend get away. - ztoymaker

No words can describe this campground. Maybe unkempt, dirty, worn, scary. Way off the beaten path. Hard to get to. Rusted seasonals with broken down rigs. Broken windows on live a boards. Large equipment in parts, strewn around. Pavilion held up with wires and was leaning dangerously to one side. We toured this campground and left. I would NEVER recommend this place. - destinygal

This is a rustic camping area located on the Wading River. Excellent location for canoing in Wharton State Forest. This is not for motorhomes or travel trailers. Perfect for tents and popups. There is drinking water available as well as a usable bath house. Nothing fancy. Lots of Scout groups camping in here. Watch out for loose sand spots, you can get your vehicle stuck. Patrolled by NJ Park rangers who do enforce posted regulations. This location for those that enjoy and are equipped for rustic camping only. - hiker1
